As a paramedic preceptor and instructor, I respect and value the importance of education. To not properly pay those who are teaching the future of EMS is a huge disappointment and disadvantage. These student deserve to see their goals come to light and that starts with the instructors.
Sydney supported: Prevent Disruptive Strike at Chemeketa Community College: Protect Students' EducationOregon is experiencing the worst Emergency Responder crisis in recent memory. The instructors here at Chemeketa Brooks are working as hard as humanely possible to ensure the next generation of Emergency services get trained properly. The instructors are currently the lowest paid CC union instructors in the state at this level. The students work extremely hard and pay a lot of money to receive an exemplary training experience. The Chemeketa management owes it to both the students and staff to settle this dispute and pay them a fair wage.
John supported: Prevent Disruptive Strike at Chemeketa Community College: Protect Students' EducationMedic students have to go through hundreds of unpaid hours— often twelve hour shifts, multiple days a week, doing clinical work in hospitals and ride times in ambulances. They will have to work other full time jobs outside of these school hours just to make ends meet and survive. Forcing these students to have to redo all of these hundreds of hours of time, is an unreasonable injustice. Other students may have to drop from the program entirely because they cannot afford to redo it, either financially or because of life changes. That would be an injustice to the students, and a community in serious need of medics and healthcare providers. A reasonable and simple solution, is to grant an exemption for medical program students to pick up where they were left off if a strike is prolonged.
Andres supported: Prevent Disruptive Strike at Chemeketa Community College: Protect Students' EducationThis class has worked so hard to get to this point, it’d be such a shame to lose that progress and time now. It’s common to be somewhat dependent upon earning your Paramedic license to follow through on the plans one has set for their career after school, so not only would this affect this class’s career, but also other factors in their lives. Let’s fight to get this class to graduation and get more competent paramedics in the field!
